Las Vegas sent the Indianapolis Colts the 38th and 141st picks of this year’s draft. Mayer was an AP first-team All-American and Mackey Award finalist last season after catching 67 passes for 809 yards and nine touchdowns. The TD total set a record for Fighting Irish tight ends. The Raiders selected Alabama defensive tackle Byron Young with their first pick of the third round.
